Just quoting in Danny Dorito so she can move the thread if needed
Heyyyy, any German students out here know any good German programmes/soaps I can get hooked onto pls?
Anything similar to Eastenders would help lol
Do I have this right that you want to watch German TV shows to improve your understanding in German? are you talking about sophisticated TV shows? if yes, I need a bit time to think about such TV shows carefully. Anyway I would recommend you to watch sophisticated TV shows to learn German at a good level.
The typical German TV shows which comes into my mind spontaneously are:
Unter uns Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten (GZSZ)
they are long runners in German TV, but not sophisticated in my view.
Another German TV shows which I introduce you are:
Sturm der Liebe ( quite young TV series, a tearjerker about love) Lindenstraße (very old TV series, drama-like storyline.) Marienhof (very old, is not aired in German TV since 2011)
All of them are daily soaps, so mind candy series. To learn German as a foreigner, they are good enough for getting start with German language.
I think Gute Zeiten Schlechte Zeiten and Alaram fuer Cobra 11 are good shows to watch. they are my favourites
Alarm für Cobra 11 is just a good show to see how cars are burning and exploding during a car chase. Nice effects, but the storyline for every single episode is average at the maximum, not sophisticated. It is quasi the light version of the fast and furious series
